Offer the deal to the Poch, look what heís done at Spurs and yes they are still bridesmaids whoíve won fuck all but he knows the league inside out, wouldnít be adverse to him bringing a couple of the Tottenham lads with him either. What you recon Bellew?

For the moment, I am quite happy for the board to take quite a bit of time not just to review managerial but also to really decide what kind of direction football-wise they want the club to go. In the meantime, if Unsworth picks up some very good results and we find ourselves winning a few games then I would be happy to extend Unsworth's spell as manager.

Koeman was sacked by the Toffees on Monday after a dismal run of form that has seen the Merseyside club slip into the Premier League relegation zone, while qualification from the Europa League group stage looks unlikely.

Names such as Sean Dyche, Phil Neville and Ryan Giggs have been suggested to replace former Southampton boss Koeman, but Bellew has other ideas.

Boxer Bellew, a well-known Everton fan, wrote in his Metro column that the Toffees should splash out £250,000 a week on Simeone and offer the Argentinian manager a huge £300million war chest of owner Farhad Moshiri's money.

"Why not go and break the bank and get Diego Simeone? Offer him £250,000 a week and give him a £300million war chest," Bellew said. "Then letís see how serious we really are. Simeone has completed his process at Atletico Madrid.

"He needs a new project and whatís better than Everton in the Premier League? Big fan base, a team with money. Iím not too sure who is available at the moment, but Iím desperate to see what happens now.

Simeone, 47, has gained major success at Atletico during his six-year spell as manager, most notably seeing off competition from Real Madrid and Barcelona to hold aloft the 2013-14 La Liga trophy.

Two Champions League finals and a Europa League winners' medal shows just what he is capable of, but it remains to be seen if Everton can lure him to Merseyside with his contract set to expire in June 2020.

Ive not seen 1 post promoting a british manager/coach, so im not making anything up, speaking from experience , our last 2 managers have been foriegn and its gone badly wrong. As with a host of clubs in the league. They are only as good as the squad they inherit or put together, even jose got the bullet and hes the top dog

You must have missed me suggesting Chris Hughton then. I think he's a good coach and communicator and seems to conduct himself well and with class, which we always enjoy here.

I don't think anyone took me seriously at the time, but in that article someone posted about the Sheffield United manager, Hughton was about 5th on the list in terms of win percentages.
